Only if they tried to compete at the same price. If the K... lets call
it eht K2 for laughs, if the K2 FF streets for between $1500 and $1900
has K7 specifications otherwise with a 12-14mp sensor, it still
undersells the D5 II by 20-25%. That's a nice niche to live in. It
uses a tone of older lenses but gives you full frame. It would be very
attractive. No one would expect Pentax to bring out a Canon D1 or Nikon
D3 killer.

The other thing that I haven't seen discussed yet is the issue for
Pentax with FF - a K7 type body with a FF sensor would get eaten
alive in the marketplace by Canon and Nikon. Their high end bodies
are so much more than just a big sensor - Pentax would have to do
some MAJOR upgrading of all other aspects of the body besides the
sensor. By going to the 645 they don't have to compete with that.
Much as many want the FF body, right now it would not do too well, me
thinks.
